Yeah, In Their Darkened Shrines had some pretty extensive liner notes, but this looks even longer. It was a lot of fun going through that album the first night I had it.

Also this is like a 5th grade love affair, like the kid that always says "no, that girl is UGLY and I HATE her" but he's secretly in love with her and just can't own up to it? That's lurch and Nile methinks. :loco:

oh yeah ... I HEART ze Nile ...

someone else on the thread where I got those pics from mentioned that they should do a cover of The Bangles ... Walk like an Egyptian

"All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

[The] Blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life['s] hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
[They] Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian "

I have to admit, it's growing on me. I listened to it yesterday and actually really liked it for the first time. It's definitely not as good as previous albums, but it's still very good. I dunno, it just seems to lack that dusty, gritty, brutal pummeling onslaught, and yet it's great in a different way. There's actually a lot more melody on the new one, lots of dual guitar harmonies and such. I'm diggin' yo.

Both Nile and Rudra are ruling the DM airwaves these days.
 
that is the link to the thread i created ... page 2 of it.
page 1 is the original question ... then on page 2 about halfway down he "answers" me

the Continual Stubby Wobby Fingered One
 
he answered me with that answer ... the answer is NO, just as I thought.
on to asking him when they will do a cover of The Bangles track :loco:
 
I respect Nile and think most of Shrines is awesome, but I hope they put in as much dedication into the music on the new one as Karl does on researching Egyptian mythology. And that aknh pendant that comes with the special edition is pretty cool.
